proverbs usually have precious meaning....they are wise saying told by old people.
Here are mine:
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
meaning: we always think that others things are more beautiful,practical,........etc although in fact there's no difference between them.

I have more but i wanna see yours first........
